ALL MARRIAGES MUST BE RECORDED.

President Bayles OF the Health Boar, looked up the
marriage laws his own account yesterday and came
to the conclusion that marriages Of al sorts which arc
reported to the Board must be recorded The recent
amendments, by which rabbis not In charge oI moor
porated congregations understood TO- be deDareu
from performing marriage ceremonies were amend
Chapter section Of the revised statutes
The duty Of the Health Board to recorl marriages Is
not laid in that law, but it Is described in the
Consolidation Act IT is declared that in this city
the Boad must record all marriages reported in the
order In which the certificates received. AS the
Consolidation Act not amended, Mr. Bayles cannot
understand how the amendments TO a State law can
affect the registry Of marriages in the Bureau OF Vital
statistics. lie said yesterday that the object OF the
State law to make persons who an authorized TO
marry couples keep such records Of the marriages as
can used proofs in the courts Under the Con
SOladon AZ, the records Of marriages in the Health
Department kept solely to furnish information.
and certificates file not proofs of marriages
because they never verified
certificates Of abbis, recently rejected by Depu-
ty-Register Nagle, probably will be ordered on file
shortly, and the Board will pay further attention
to the question of the legality of marriages by rabbs
Mr. Bayles has directed that on all transcripts Of
records OF marriages which are given in the Bureau
Of Vital Statistics there shall be printed statement
that the records Of marriages are not legal proofs
Of such marriages.
